Firstly, it will not cloud the water, making it easier to monitor the amount eaten and reducing water quality problems.

If the temperature consistently falls below 40°F, feeding should be stopped. Once the temperature is consistently above 40°F but below 60°F, feed once daily. For temperatures above 60°F but below 70°F, feed twice daily during the warmest part of the day. When the temperature exceeds 70°F, feed two to four times daily. It is crucial not to exceed the amount your fish can consume within three to five minutes to avoid over-feeding and water quality issues. Note that during periods of appetite loss, illness, or medication, the amount of food should be carefully monitored to prevent problems.
